  • Method for increasing absorption of steroid hormones
    Patent number: 8080538
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed wherein one or more steroid hormones are combined in a mixture with a sulfur-containing compound. The sulfur-containing compound increases the absorption of the steroid hormone through a mucosal surface, such as skin, oral mucosa, and mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract.
    Type: Grant

  • Energy-enhancing supplement
    Publication number: 20020168421
    Abstract: A composition for a dietary supplement supplies components to increase the cellular formation of ATP, and thus provide energy for cellular activity. Active ingredients include 4-aminobenzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-cysteine, L-methionine, sodium molybdate, selenium, lithium bromide, horseradish powder, and shiitake mushroom powder. The composition of the present invention is administered in an oral dosage form to increase energy in humans.

  • PLL Swept frequency generator with programmable sweep rate
    Patent number: 4546328
    Abstract: A phase-locked voltage controlled oscillator for generating frequency modulated waveforms having a programmable digital RF phase shifter to determine the phase difference between the output signal and a phase corrected reference signal to thereby generate the desired output waveform.

    Inventors: Edwin B. Smith, John R. Fogleboch, Sr.
  • Phase locked-loop generator with closed-loop forcing function shaper
    Patent number: 4442412
    Abstract: A phase locked-loop circuit includes a non-linear voltage controlled oscillator ideally producing a desired output frequency as a function of time and a memory producing signals which add to the phase locked-loop phase error feedback signal to correct for the VCO non-linearities. A calibration circuit upon activation is responsive to the phase error feedback signal for altering the contents of the memory such as to reduce or eliminate the phase error.

  • Curved centerline air intake for a gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 4220171
    Abstract: An inlet for a gas turbine engine is disposed about a curved centerline for the purpose of accepting intake air that is flowing at an angle to engine centerline and progressively turning that intake airflow along a curved path into alignment with the engine. This curved inlet is intended for use in under-the-wing locations and similar regions where airflow direction is altered by aerodynamic characteristics of the airplane. By curving the inlet, aerodynamic loss and acoustic generation and emission are decreased.
